APPLE-CRANBERRY COTTAGE CHEESE



Apple-Cranberry Cottage Cheese image

This recipe is modified from a recipe I found in the Kraft Foods website for healthy eating. You can use other dried fruits in place of the cranberries although I haven't. Also, use nonfat cottage cheese to cut back the calories even more. The applesauce adds the moisture that nonfat cottage cheese needs. I use the recipe as a side for brunch menus. Guests always rave about it.
